mending
Many of the zig-zag stitch settings are just as useful
for mending as they are for creative sewing. The
multi-stitch zig-zag () forms a firm, flexi
ble bond for repairing tears, for reinforcing or for
replacing elastic. The plain zig-zag (W\WMWWW\) is
useful for making bar tacks to repair lingerie.

1. Trim ragged edges.
2. Place underlay on the wrong side of tear for rein
forcement. (It is best not to baste or pin the
underlay, since you will be bringing the edges
of the tear together in the next step.)
3. Stitch on the right side, bringing the edges of the
tear together.
4. Shorten stitch length at ends and corners to give
extra strength.
5. Trim underlay.
ELASTIC
1. Use the same selector settings and fittings as for
“Tears”, above.
2. Hold the elastic taut as you stitch so that it will re
main stretchable after stitching is completed.
